More discounts equal less premium

The price of auto insurance can be rather high, buy you may qualify for discounts to help bring down the price. A few discounts will automatically apply when you complete an application, but a few must be asked about before they will apply.

  • Life Insurance Discount - Companies who offer life insurance give better rates if you take out life insurance from them.
  • Drive Less and Save - Low mileage vehicles could be rewarded with a substantially lower rate.
  • Passive Restraints and Air Bags - Factory air bags or automatic seat belts can qualify for discounts of 20% or more.
  • Pay Now and Pay Less - By paying your policy upfront instead of paying each month you could save 5% or more.
  • Accident Waiver - A handful of insurance companies will allow you to have one accident before raising your premiums as long as you don't have any claims for a certain period of time.
  • Good Student Discount - A discount for being a good student can save 20 to 25%. Earning this discount can benefit you up until you turn 25.

A little note about advertised discounts, some credits don't apply to your bottom line cost. Most only apply to the price of certain insurance coverages like collision or personal injury protection. Just because it seems like you would end up receiving a 100% discount, you won't be that lucky. Any amount of discount will reduce your premiums.
